Very interesting. I will keep this in mind since we do have another 10,000 or so jobs that we'll need completed in the next while.

The pricing page isn't totally helpful. I'm not sure if I would fall under `Comparison $0.10` or `Data Collection $0.25/minute`... or if many of those prices apply to a single job.

Either way, I'll keep your product in mind.

Tbh I found scaleapi to be quite expensive, much more than implementing your own QA process on Turk. Also if scaleapi goes down you have to do the work all over again. Scaleapi is nothing new, there have been others before but they were gone as quickly as they came, and suddenly all the API code stopped working.

It was a bad enough experience that I'd never base my mission critical product on a 3rd party startup. Amazon could go bad too but a small startup it's almost expected.

Cool! We're working on a redesign of the pricing page—stay tuned :)
